Thinai Idli Recipe | Foxtail Millet Idli Recipe | Millet Recipes

We allow know millets is helathy, but switching from our lifestyle is difficult. Here is another simple way to replace millets to our diet, just replace the rice used for making idli's to millets for a soft and healthy idli. Goodness of millets in a easy way!!!

Measure the ingredients and wash well. Soak everything together for 1-2 hour. Drain the water and grind them to a smooth, thick and fluffy batter with less water. Add salt required while grinding itself.

Allow the batter to ferment overnight or 8 hours. It rises a little and not like our idli batter.(As you can see in the picture)

Boil water in a idli pan, pour batter in the idli plates and steam it for 8-10 minutes. Check with a knife, if idli is done. If the knife comes out clean, the idli is ready else allow it to cook further.

Remove the plates and allow it to rest for a minute. Then remove and serve hot with your favorite chutney.
